Major/ Memorial Awards
A special part of the 2026 Season Presentation — recognising those who have gone above and beyond both on and off the field.
L&V Engineering for Senior Club Champions: Mona Vale Raiders
Kane Mason Memorial Shield: Noah Bridges
President’s Award: Deb Kennedy
Pop Hall Memorial Trophy: Avalon Bulldogs
Congratulations to all our major and perpetual award winners!
Noah Bridges was awarded the Kane Mason award. You will often see Noah helping the A Grade or Reserve grade teams at Narrabeen Sharks, helping set up and pack down, he even was selected to play for the Philippines this season.
The Kane Mason Memorial Shield is an annual award named in honour of Kane Mason, a respected and much-loved member of the Manly rugby league community who passed away. This award recognises sportsmanship, dedication, and contribution to junior rugby league, reflecting the qualities that Kane embodied — commitment, passion for the game, and community spirit.
Congratulations Noah!
The Mona Vale Raiders had an excellent 2026 Season and are already setting themselves up for a brilliant 2027 Season.
The Pop Hall Cup for Club of the Year is the oldest trophy in the MWJRL and presented annually to the club judged to have done the most for the rugby league code in the district.
The Avalon Bulldogs first won the Pop Hall trophy in 1962 and have won it 4 times since then, the 2026 honour being the club’s 6th time to be recognised with the trophy and the second year in a row they have done so.
This recognition reflects the passion, dedication, and hard work of everyone involved in the club — from players and coaches to volunteers, committee members, and supporters.
The Manly Warringah Presentation Night also saw Avalon’s A Grade team proudly accept the Premiership Trophy after winning Back-to Back Grand Finals. See Celebratory Profile: Avalon Bulldogs Win Back-To-Back Premierships
